Unsafe Boating - the real issue

Some interesting ideas John. One thing I am not sure it would work or how it would work, tieing/tying in ones boaters license to their drivers license for boaters with out of state licenses. You have to get Registry of Motor vehicle depts from other states to comply, many will for drivers licenses but I suspect they would not extend that to NH boating licenses. Maybe someday if all states were on board with this idea.

However, the boaters licence & affecting the privilege to operate on NH waters when violations are commited is an interesting idea. Maybe the fee for the licence could hire additional personnel because with such a large undertaking additional officers for enforcement will be needed & additional personnel will be needed for the examinations.
